Chapter 1116 - 1116 1102 On My Mind

Chapter 1116: Chapter 1102: On My Mind Chapter 1116: Chapter 1102: On My Mind Qiandu Xiang made up his mind and said, “We shall secretly go to Sacred Spirit Mountain. Anyone who dares to leak our whereabouts, I shall kill.”

His eyes carried a murderous intent, as if he were to devour someone.

Worried, Qiandu Ao said, “Brother, that Ouyang Yue, who seeks the Sacred Spirit Stone, intends to use it against us. If they mistakenly believe we are all dead, would they still come for the Sacred Spirit Stone?”

Indeed, that was a valid point. Alone, Gu Feng said, “Perhaps their Key Box has been snatched away by Pan Jianglong and his men. If Pan Jianglong and his crew get their hands on the Key Box, they will definitely make a move for the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“That’s a possibility, but it’s only a fifty-fifty chance,” replied Qiandu Ao.

However, Qiandu Xiang said, “They will definitely come for the Sacred Spirit Stone. Even if they really believe I am dead, they will want to reclaim the leadership of the Sacred Spirit Sect. Without the Sacred Spirit Stone, no one will obey them. To be safe, they will also aim to retrieve the Sacred Spirit Stone because, after all, they don’t know for certain whether we are truly extinct.”

Qiandu Ao looked over and felt that Qiandu Xiang had a point, saying, “That’s true. If they don’t have the Sacred Spirit Stone, others won’t submit to that girl.”

Qiandu Xiang sneered and said, “They want to reclaim the position of Sect Leader peacefully; they must get the Sacred Spirit Stone. Rest assured, I understand this better than anyone else.”

He had a plan, to secretly enter Sacred Spirit Mountain and wait there for the opportunity. It didn’t matter if the Key Box was in Ouyang Yue’s hands or Pan Jianglong’s, they would surely come for the Sacred Spirit Stone.

Hai Jingtian said, “Nangong Yao will think of this. Hence, they will certainly take the Sacred Spirit Stone. We just need to wait for them there, they will definitely come.”

“Damn it, Pan Jianglong, once I get the Sacred Spirit Stone, I shall shatter his bones,” Qiandu Xiang said, seething with anger.

Having just regained his soul, Qiandu Ao, to be honest, didn’t want to think about anything else; he just wanted to leave this place. This was certainly a deadly island; otherwise, how could such a thing have happened?

“Enough, stop staring blankly. Nothing can stop me from getting the Sacred Spirit Stone. I must obtain it,” Qiandu Xiang secretly vowed.

Qiandu Ao had nothing more to say.

Originally under scrutiny, they were now presumed dead and ironically safer. If he didn’t rush to Sacred Spirit Mountain, he would truly be a fool. He was curious to see how much worse things could get.

“Get some food ready; I want to play a good game with them,” Qiandu Xiang increasingly believed in the saying that great fortune follows a disaster; he was eager to see just how much worse things could get.

The night fell, silent and still.

Everyone had already found a spot to camp, and many things no longer required Ye Chen’s attention.

Two days later, they had a clearer understanding of the island’s situation.

Nangong Yan had taken the Black Demonic Spirit away to chat, its whereabouts unknown, leaving the Red Demonic Spirit behind with Ye Chen. The Red Demonic Spirit, looking at Ye Chen, asked with a smile, “Are you really thinking about that girl?”

Ye Chen gave a faint smile and responded, “Is that possible?”

“Do you think that girl would really become a nun?”

After a thoughtful pause, Ye Chen answered, “No.”

“Why are you so sure?”

Ye Chen replied, “Her mother wouldn’t agree to it. Whoever dares to make her a nun, her mother would certainly set the nunnery on fire.” He believed Xia Yue was capable of doing such a thing.

“Then Xia Yue wouldn’t let Guo Yuyun stay single.”

Indeed, with Xia Yue’s personality, how could she let her own daughter remain an old maid?

“Hehe, what do you want to say?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“Everyone thinks you’re dead, and Guo Yuyun is already of age; her mother will make her marry!” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, “Perhaps, maybe she will find someone who truly cherishes her and lead a good life; that would be nice.”

“If she knew you deceived her, she wouldn’t forgive you.”

“It seems you don’t understand why I deceived her,” said Ye Chen.

“Right, you’re a great person. It’s been three months; one should move on by now, perhaps even fallen in love.”

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, “If she finds someone who can cherish her, that would be good. I’m not the kind to settle down, destined to wander like a vagrant, drifting endlessly, today unaware of what tomorrow brings.”

“If you destroy the ring, would you go back to find her?” asked the Red Demonic Spirit.

Ye Chen was silent for a long while, having indeed considered this question, before saying, “Do you think I should go back to find her?”

“Still struggling with it, don’t get tangled up and regret not finding a second Guo Yuqing. Regret it later when you come back.”

Ye Chen just smiled faintly upon hearing this.

“Hehe, You think I’m joking with you. Aren’t you just regretting that you didn’t firmly pursue Guo Yuqing in the past!” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Right, one shouldn’t hesitate. A moment’s hesitation and you miss out on someone,” Ye Chen said.

“Good that you understand this principle.”

“But you also know how I got here,” Ye Chen added.

“However, I didn’t know you had such firm feelings for Guo Yuqing,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“Let’s not talk about her anymore,” Ye Chen suggested.

The Red Demonic Spirit sighed and said, “Cherish it, or you’ll regret it.”

“Let’s talk about it in a few days, I don’t want to think about it now.”

“Right, there’s nothing worth pondering over. Why worry, you won’t have trouble finding someone else. Even if that girl is married, you can still find a new partner,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“What do you mean!” Ye Chen exclaimed.

“You know what I mean.”

“Hey, are you talking about that girl? I made it clear to her, I have someone I like,” Ye Chen said.

“Yes, you did the right thing there. You didn’t mess around like before. But even if you don’t want to flirt, flowers might still want to blossom for you,” said the Red Demonic Spirit.

“There’s nothing I can do about that. After this matter is settled, I’ll be leaving,” Ye Chen responded.

“Yeah, I hope it ends soon and that no other issues arise,” she said.

It was early morning, and the mist was still heavy, as some people had already gotten up to prepare food.

Nangong Yan awakened too and wanted to go to the river to wash her face, when suddenly, Ouyang Yue called out from behind, “Going to wash up?”

“You’re up early too,” Nangong Yan said.

“Hmm, I fell asleep as well. I’ll go with you,” Ouyang Yue replied.

“Do you think Ye Chen has been avoiding me these past few days?”

Ouyang Yue responded, “I haven’t been paying much attention.”

“Seriously, I feel like he’s been doing it on purpose,” she insisted.

“Why would he do that?”

Nangong Yan pondered for a moment before answering, “Perhaps he’s afraid I’ll cling to him, not wanting to get too entangled with me.”

“So, are you clinging to him?”

After some thought, Nangong Yan said, “I don’t know, but I do know I’m happy when I’m with him.”

“You want to be with him, don’t you?”

Nangong Yan sighed, “That’s impossible. He made it clear to me that he won’t be with me.”

Seeing the expression on Nangong Yan’s face, Ouyang Yue knew that this girl had truly fallen for someone. She said, “He’s a smart guy; he probably doesn’t want to hurt you.”

“What do you think I should do?”

Ouyang Yue shook her head, “When it comes to matters of the heart, I’m as inexperienced as you are.”

“How can you have no experience? You and Si Nanyu—sorry, I shouldn’t have brought up such a sad subject.”

After all this time, Ouyang Yue had moved on, “It’s okay, it’s all in the past. I’ve come to terms with it. Honestly, I’m not even sure if my feelings for Si Nanyu were brotherly affection or romantic love.”

“What do you mean?”

After thinking for a while, Ouyang Yue explained, “If it were the feeling of first love, I truly don’t know what that feels like. Maybe, having been together since we were young, we’ve lost that feeling of love long ago; we’re too familiar, so there’s no passion or excitement.”

“How can you not like Si Nanyu when he’s so good to you?”

“I didn’t say I didn’t like him. I know he likes me and treats me well, but I just don’t feel that sudden rush of excitement.”

“So, what’s this ‘sudden rush of excitement’ supposed to feel like?”

Ouyang Yue had heard about it, “It’s supposed to mean you really want to see the other person and every time you do, your heart flutters wildly. If you don’t see them, it feels uncomfortable.”

Nangong Yan thought about it and felt that she didn’t experience that either.

“What are you thinking about? Whether you feel that way about Ye Chen?”

“You’re really annoying,” she retorted.

“That guy’s been through a lot. He’s not ordinary; he doesn’t want you to get hurt,” Ouyang Yue said.

Nangong Yan sniffed in annoyance.

“You haven’t really fallen for him, have you?”

“No,” she denied.

“That’s good, it saves me from having to comfort you later,” Ouyang Yue quipped.

“Nonsense, I’m not a fragile person,” Nangong Yan protested.

Ouyang Yue smiled, “Don’t be so sure of yourself. Once you experience it, you won’t talk like that.”

“You still don’t believe me?” Nangong Yan said.

“I believe you. Hurry up and wash your face,” Ouyang Yue urged.

Nangong Yan washed her face quickly.

On her way back, she saw only Red Demonic Spirit and asked, “Where is Ye Chen?”

Red Demonic Spirit replied, “He said he was feeling too lonely and cold, so he went up to the mountain top to see if he could bump into a female monkey.”

“Isn’t he afraid of being captured by someone?”

“Who knows what he’s thinking,” replied Red Demonic Spirit coldly.

“He didn’t have breakfast yet,” Nangong Yan noted.

“No, he said he wasn’t hungry,” the Red Demonic Spirit answered.

“Is he troubled by something?” Nangong Yan inquired.

“I don’t know. He has always been like this, who can tell what’s on his mind?” Red Demonic Spirit climbed down from the tree, lured by the scent of roasting meat.

Nangong Yan grabbed a couple of pieces of roast meat, wrapped them up, and took a water bag, saying, “I’ll go up and check on him.”

When Ouyang Yue heard this, she said, “I’ll come with you.”

“There’s no need; I can go up by myself.” Nangong Yan ran off with the food and water bag.

Black Demonic Spirit was on Nangong Yan’s person, and she would occasionally talk to it. These past few days, her chats with Black Demonic Spirit had been quite pleasant, even more so than the period before.

The sun was on its way up, yet there was still a while to go. It had been a long time since she had climbed a mountain. Ye Chen had climbed to the top, ready to catch his breath and watch the rising sun.
